Rhodes Trust & the Recruitment Funnel
Diamond Money → the Policy Network
Rhodes' 1877 will imagined a 'secret society' to preserve the British imperial model; the Rhodes Trust (1902) and his trustee Lord Alfred Milner (1905-25) turned it into the Round Table, and the Rhodes Scholarships into a recruitment funnel for the Anglo-American policy network (Quigley).
At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference the network drew up Chatham House (1920) and the CFR (1921). The shops that frame Anglo-American foreign policy were seed-funded by South African diamonds. ('Milner' = Lord Alfred Milner, not Yuri Milner.)
